Maxims of Imam Hussein A.S

part 6

76 - Those who worship God sincerely will be rewarded far more than what they had wished and even more than what they deserve. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 71 , P. 184)

77 - Association with the wicked people is evilness, and association with the corrupted people brings doubts to oneself. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 122)

78 - Imam Hussain (A.S.) said: " Whoever comes to us will find at least one of these four : he will hear sound reasoning , will see fair judgement , will face a helpful brother , and will enjoy the company of learned men."(Biharol Anwar, Vol. 44, P. 195)

79 - Imam Hussain (A.S.) said to a man who was backbiting someone in Imam's presence : " Stop this evil act , for your backbiting will be the food of dogs in the hell." (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 117)

80 - Sometimes God Almighty showers a man with grace and favor , instead depriving him of the blessing of being grateful , this is how God tests his mortals. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 117)

83 - A man from the Ansaar group came to Imam Husain (A.S.). He had a request. Imam (A.S.) told him to write his request if he was too shy to say it. The man wrote:" I owe someone 500 dinars and he is pressuring me for returning it. Please talk to him and ask him to give me more time. "When Imam (A.S.) read the request, he bestowed the man a purse. The purse contained 1000 dinars. He said, " 500 to pay your debts , and the rest for improving your living conditions. "Then Imam (A.S.) said, " Avoid asking for help from anyone but three types of people: the religions , the generous , and the noble ;The religious for their fear of God , the generous for their generosity, and the noble for their dignity, will not let you down. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 118)

84 - Among the signs of having won the approval and acceptance of God Almighty is keeping the company of the learned. Among the signs of ignorance is fighting with true believers. And among the signs of a learned person is his thinking before saying, and his being well informed of the scientific facts of his day. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 119)

85 - Avoid doing what you might later be asked to apologize for it! Because the believer does not harm and does not ask for apology, while the hypocrite always harms and apologizes. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 120)

86 - When a poor man begs for your help, his pride is hurt. Then you don’t deal another blow to his pride by letting him down. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 44 , P. 197)

87 – Imam Husain (A.S.) said: "Whoever likes us for the sake of God , we will join the Prophet (S.A.W.) together like these two ( and stuck two of his fingers together ). And whoever likes us for this world he will be rewarded only in this world which contains both good and evil people." (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 27, P. 84)

88 - When you are frustrated and do not know a way out, only flexibility and moderation towards difficulties will save you. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 128)

89 - Orphans are the orphans of Mohammad's household. Whoever takes an orphan of ours under his protection and guides him, the Almighty God will tell him , O My generous mortal , you deserve my grace. Then he will order his angels to give him one thousand palace, for each word he taught. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 2 , P. 4)

90 - If it were not the realization of the Muslim brothers' rights, for whatever evil you did; you would have been punished. But the glorified God says:" Whatever affliction befalls you, it is on account, of what your hands have wrought, and (yet) He pardons most (of your faults)". (Biharol Anwar Vol. 75 , P. 415)
